SPECTRAL
BUTTERFLY
The Butterfly is for
all levels of embroiderers, instructions have been featured in the
November 2006 Embroidery magazine by Inspirations.
The
kit comes with a detailed instruction booklet with step by step
graphs for working each pattern. There is also a large chart which
the embroidery can be worked from.
Working the embroidery: The Blackwork
embroidery can be worked within a tacked outline of the design
using the variety of different Blackwork stitches provided or it
can be worked directly from the chart, instructions for both methods
are given in the instruction booklet. The design is not worked
as a two-sided piece of blackwork but as dimensional picture by
changing the thickness of the thread and by reducing the
stitches in the pattern. The Blackwork can also be
worked from the chart in the same method as a cross-stitch design.
The
Embroidery can be worked in an alternative colour to black and be
very effective.
I
am offering free correspondence and free on going critique for this
kit, for more details go to - Free
on going critique.
There
is a choice of two fabrics to work the blackwork design:
-
The
original embroidery is worked on 32 count Etamin 100% cotton fabric
which is a off-white colour fabric with even weave threads (all
threads are the same thickness) which is a nice soft fabric and is
easier to see and count compared to the Belfast linen.
-
The
embroidery can also be worked on 32 count Belfast 100% Linen fabric
which is a off-white colour fabric with uneven weave threads
(different thicknesses) giving a natural look.
